Thanks for replying! Merry Christmas for you too ;) Of course, I'll try what you suggested. But I wonder if I can start sax again to restore to my previous refresh rate; it was working fine (8 MB shared memory size, reserved in BIOs was+800x600@60hz+refresh rates specified by manufacturer). As I said I have no visibility to open any app: the screen is blicking and screaming. a. Hans du Plooy escreveu:

Hello friends, I set my *shared memory size* to just 4 MB and the "shadows" is gone. THE PROBLEM: I have *just 4 MB* (from 256 available) for my video card (onboard — I´m using a pcchis m598lmr).
There's your problem. That's one buggy little board - sorry to have to say this. I'm surprised you got SuSE installed at all - mine kept haning when laoding the braille stuff.
Allright, the problem with you display relates to the crappy onboard SiS graphics. From my days trying to get XFree86 version 3 going on a SiS card, here's what you should do.
Edit your XF86Config file. Look for the section that defines your graphics card - it will contain references to SiS somewhere.
In that section, just above "endsection," add the following lines:
Option "noaccel" Option "nolinear"
I'm not entirely sure what this does, but that solved it for me on a variety of different linux distro's on a wide range of SiS cards over the last couple of years.
Good luck, let us know what happens Hans
